The idea that you can convert your dog's age to human years by multiplying by 7 is a total myth. Now researchers have developed a formula based on changes to DNA over time: multiply the natural logarithm of your dog's age in years by 16, then add 31 https://t.co/s2qbmuCSzY

@ProfMarkMaslin @ExtinctionR @ebcripps @SustainableUCL @DavidRVetter @archer_rs @adamvaughan_uk @ClimateCrisisAG @DrSimEvans @SteveBraceGeog @JKSteinberger I've seen it mentioned that wind-turbines mainly hit larger birds (eagles, storks, geese) while cats mainly kill smaller birds with higher reproductive capacity. (Killing million of small birds might impact the amount of food for raptors though). Thoughts?

@whale_nerd how to say "press" in "UK english"

[Thejasvi Beleyur @BeleyurThejasvi]

Dear animal behaviour, sensory bio, bioacoustics, bat, bird, frog and all other vocalising animal people - ever wondered how the sounds your animals radiate from them? How directional are the sounds, and how can this be quantified?

@chazz_findlay @jam_machund they were due to be replaced >10 years ago by more modern trains. They turned out to be not suitable for Danish climate and rusted away...
Having tried trains around northern Europe i think GB trains are a rather low baseline...
but anyhow - enjoy DK!

[sloth @DYKsloth]

@chazz_findlay @jam_machund In Denmark we give out about the state of the trains #baselinebias

"We're the least genetically diverse great ape; 2 groups of chimps from Congo are more genetically different from each other than 2 groups of humans plucked from Berlin & Beijing. Most of our diversity is cultural."

@KJ_PalmerPhD when trying to compile results of papers it's great to have abstract and results first (often abstract is not specific enough on outcomes). Based on those two you can decide whether to dig into methods and discussion.

@LEGO_Group I'll have to check the yellow piece!

[sloth @DYKsloth]

@LEGO_Group the size of Lego has changed. I can't measure the difference, but one is loose and the other is stuck.

[sloth @DYKsloth]

@LEGO_Group Hi. I'm quite sure there's a difference in spec as all old bricks (+10y) stick and all new bricks (<2y) are loose. Just wondering when the change occured 😊

@chazz_findlay @JAppliedEcology It's a horrible discussion that I feel should be concluded with kurtosis-adjusted limits: https://t.co/KtxpqclnIl
